Barcelona announced the signing of Wojciech Szczesny officially on a contract that extends until the end of the current season to compensate for the long absence of Marc ter Stegen, who suffered a serious injury that will keep him off the field for a whole year.
Szczesny accepted Barcelona’s offer after announcing his retirement despite having a valid contract with Juventus and rejecting tempting offers from the Saudi league. But he decided to respond to Barcelona’s call.
La Liga allowed Barcelona to sign a new goalkeeper exceptionally on the condition that he is a free agent, conditions that were met by the veteran Polish goalkeeper.
